Description
Contesting Democracy: Political Ideas in Twentieth-century Europe by Jan-Werner Müller explores the complex landscape of modern European political thought from the early twentieth century to the present day. This comprehensive guide spans both West and East Europe, shedding light on the ideological extremes that shaped the period before 1945 and the liberalization of Western politics after World War II. Müller skillfully weaves together intellectual, political, and cultural history to illuminate the ideas that underpinned these developments. He provides vivid portraits of influential thinkers, as well as those whose contributions have been overlooked, and examines the movements and institutions they inspired. The book also delves into the impact of fascist ideologies and their relationship with post-war liberal democracies in Western Europe. From the 1960s to neoliberalism, Müller offers a critical assessment of the current self-consciously post-ideological age, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of modern European politics.
